On day two of the show, Les Holm, Jason Mitchell, Sean Rondestvedt, Eric Wittler, Chris Greene, Don Mitchell, Keith Zanghi and Ed Shadle were front and center looking sharp as a hundred thousand visitors walked by to view the Eagle. With the show covering nearly a million square feet, many of the fans said they had been looking for the car for couple of days.

It ain’t no Cadillac, but I am still the King!

Special guest today was none other then Elvis Presley. Obviously the reports of Elvis’ death are highly exaggerated. We are here to tell you that Elvis is alive and well in Las Vegas. In fact, we sighted Elvis up and down the Vegas strip.

Also stopping by were two of the biggest names in Rock and Roll, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Paul Stanley of KISS. Keith gave his best elevator speech ever to Paul about the benefits of having a KISS logo on the side of the 56 foot long Eagle.

Chris was all business at SEMA

You can appreciate the complexity

The contrasting colors make a bold statement

Chris Greene got called back over to the Concept One Jaguar to do some additional pin striping. He had quite a crowd around him as his steady hands layed down a perfect stripe around the periphery of the Jaguar’s nose. It was the centerpiece of the Concept One display. At one point a large crowd watched the master work. Special thanks to Eric Wittler who composed Chris’s artwork beautifully.

At the end of the day the team headed to Fremont Street to have a little fun. Les, John, Sean and Chris took to the skies and flew down one of the longest zip lines in America, running the full length of Fremont Street.

About

The North American Eagle project began as nothing more than an idea. That idea was to take a jet fighter, and turn it into the fastest racing machine in history. Together, Ed Shadle and Keith Zanghi founded a project with a goal to go supersonic, and break the World Land Speed Record of 763 MPH. Along the way, countless people have joined together to push the boundaries of speed, to see just how fast this car can go.
